MATLAB Central Newsreader - "figure properties" Java exception on Linux

Re:

Marc — Wed, 28 May 2008 11:42:04 -0400

I am also having this problem (dual monitors, Linux, NVidia
drivers, 2008a). A workaround is to dock the figure, hit the
figure properties button then undock the figure.

I hope somebody from the Mathworks can fix this issue - it
drives me insane.

I am having the same problem. I did some searching and
apparently this error is related to using dual monitors,
which I am. Are you also? I don't know how to fix this, but
if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

Thanks

"figure properties" Java exception on Linux

Lin — Fri, 09 May 2008 21:54:02 -0400

I'm using Matlab 7.6.0 on Linux (x86). I get a Java
exception once I click on the Edit|Figure Properties menu
item in a plot window. Does anybody know why? The older
versions used to work fine. Thanks!!
